The authorisation granted for temporary use of the 1850-2000 kHz band may not be used for other purposes within the amateur service or any other radiocommunication services.

Furthermore, transmissions associated with such use shall not cause interference to other radio services and any such interference shall determine the immediate termination of transmissions in the band.

These uses must comply, where applicable, with the provisions of Decree-Law no. 53/2009 of 2 March.

As regards the present authorisation, this decision in no way binds ANACOM in respect of any future process on this frequency band and does not give basis to any right, expectation or legally protected interest.
